Career in Book Editing
Rosner is an editor known for “discovering” Yuval Noah Harari. Rosner published Harari’s two first books in Hebrew prior to his international success. "I contacted four, five publishers who didn't want it”, Harari said, “the editor Shmuel Rosner was enthusiastic, and said we would go for it. And the rest is history".
Rosner published many other successful non-fiction authors in Israel, both local writers and foreign writers whose books he bought for translation, including Micah Goodman ("Catch 67" and all of his other works), Matti Friedman ("Pumpkinflowers" and others), Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Daniel Kahneman, Dan Arieli, Sean Carol, Malcolm Gladwell, Einat Natan ("My Everything" and others), Tali Sharot, Ronen Bergman and many more.
In 2022 Rosner established a "boutique books and ideas" project named "The Hedgehog and the Fox". Through this initiative, he produces a cultivated podcast and book series that focus of science, history, foreign affairs and philosophy.
